Programming with NASM / Re: Converting arithmetic expressions to Assembly
« Last post by UniverseIsASimulation on January 05, 2019, 05:57:07 PM »Anyway, I've improved my compiler using the Duktape framework to be able not only to translate single directives from my own programming language into Assembly, but to also be able to translate entire simple programs stored in files. Here is one of the first programs I've written in the first programming language I've made myself:
So, what do you think about it? Is it worth continuing developing it?
I am also dreaming about making my own LISP-like language, in which you will able to use both S-expressions and infix-expressions (since S-expressions come handy in array and string-manipulation, and infix-expressions come handy in arithmetic expressions), but I am unlikely to have time to develop it in foreseeable future.

Programming with NASM / Re: What is this line of assembly doing (IDA disassembler) cs:stdin@@GLIBC_2_2_5
« Last post by dreamCoder on December 28, 2018, 12:19:21 PM »From the looks of it, I think you're referring to GOT/PLT stuff. Nothing serious about it. It's just how (or where) all your external dependencies (glibc in this case) are stored in memory. This should help explaining

« Last post by turtle13 on December 28, 2018, 07:03:27 AM »So by "segment override" that means that the cs register will have whatever was stored in it before replaced with the segment starting address for the "GLIBC_2_2_5" segment?

Using NASM / can't assemble simple .asm file to .rdf format
« Last post by johntk on December 24, 2018, 08:32:20 PM »rdf is badly broken when assembling on windows. When will this be worked on. I reported this over 2 years ago.

I may have to get the source code and try to fix it myself. Any pointers on where to look in the code to fix this problem.

Programming with NASM / Re: What is this line of assembly doing (IDA disassembler) cs:stdin@@GLIBC_2_2_5
« Last post by Frank Kotler on December 21, 2018, 07:52:20 PM »Ahhh, I've been thinking I should have tried to explain that better, although I do NOT claim to know C! The C Standard Library contains open(). read(), write(). etc. - equivalent (?) to the system calls you're probably used to. It also includes fopen(), fread(), etc. If you learn C "from the book", it probably tells you to use fread(), etc. and may not even mention that the other versions exist. The difference is that the "f" versions are "buffered I/O". These use a "different stdin" (etc.) than the small integer "STDIN" you'd use for system calls. This "stdin" (I think) is the address of a structure which knows where the actual buffer is and the current position in the buffer 0 as well as STDIN=0, I suppose. If you're not aware that you've asked for buffered I/O, the results may not be what you expect.
"cs" is a segment register, but in this case it's a segment override - the address of "stdin" is with respect to section .text rather than .data or .bss. "fgets" itself would be in .text, although the address of it might be found elsewhere(?). I think IDA is adding that (and the underscore on "fgets). I don't think you'd need them if you were writing the code yourself.
Best,
Frank

« Last post by turtle13 on December 21, 2018, 02:18:15 PM »Frank nice to hear from you,
thanks for giving some clarification. Specifically what is the cs:GLIBC_2_2_5 doing... cs is a segment register correct? and LibC is the "C library of functions" so I'm assuming that that points to some offset in the .bss or .data section that has the "fgets" function call? And loading that offset into rdx? For 64- bit the 3rd arg is put into rdx register, so in this case that would be the "FILE *stream" argument for fgets
